LONG ISLAND, NY: Episcopal Diocese Settles Property Dispute in Favor of Parish
By David W. Virtue
1/30/2008

St. Joseph's Anglican Church, Brooklyn, formerly Trinity Church of East New York, which broke with the diocese in 1977, settled its case with the diocese in a Brooklyn court recently with the parish keeping its property.

The settlement was for $275,000.00, an amount considerably less than the market value of the property as recently appraised, said the attorney for the parish Eugene Voorhis.

"We are delighted that this has finally come to a close," Voorhis told VirtueOnline. "We cut a deal cut with diocese wherein everyone wins."
